When an aliased command, whose output is piped to a pager by git,
gets killed by a signal, the pager got into a funny state, which
has been corrected (again).
* ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal:
Wait for child on signal death for aliases to externals
Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtins
When you hit ^C all the processes in the tree receives it. When a git
command uses a pager, git ignores this and waits until the pager quits.
However, when using an alias there is an additional process in the tree
which didn't ignore the signal. That caused it to exit which in turn
caused the pager to exit. This fixes that for aliases to builtins.
This was originally fixed in 46df6906 (execv_dashed_external: wait
for child on signal death, 2017-01-06), but was broken by ee4512ed
(trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) and then
b9140840 (git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form,
2019-07-29).

On Cygwin, the codepath for POSIX-like systems is taken in
run-command.c::start_command(). The prepare_cmd() helper
function is called to decide if the command needs to be looked
up in the PATH. The logic there is to do the PATH-lookup if
and only if it does not have any slash '/' in it. If this test
passes we end up attempting to run the command by appending the
string after each colon-separated component of PATH.
The Cygwin environment supports both Windows and POSIX style
paths, so both forwardslahes '/' and back slashes '\' can be
used as directory separators for any external program the user
supplies.
Examples for path strings which are being incorrectly searched
for in the PATH instead of being executed as is:
- "C:\Program Files\some-program.exe"
- "a\b\c.exe"
To handle these, the PATH lookup detection logic in prepare_cmd()
is taught to know about this Cygwin quirk, by introducing
has_dir_sep(path) helper function to abstract away the difference
between true POSIX and Cygwin systems.

In this function, we free the pointer we get from locate_in_PATH and
then check whether it's NULL. However, this is undefined behavior if
the pointer is non-NULL, since the C standard no longer permits us to
use a valid pointer after freeing it.
The only case in which the C standard would permit this to be defined
behavior is if r were NULL, since it states that in such a case "no
action occurs" as a result of calling free.
It's easy to suggest that this is not likely to be a problem, but we
know that GCC does aggressively exploit the fact that undefined
behavior can never occur to optimize and rewrite code, even when that's
contrary to the expectations of the programmer. It is, in fact, very
common for it to omit NULL pointer checks, just as we have here.

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

prepare_cmd() does its own PATH lookup for any commands we
run (on non-Windows platforms).
However, its logic does not match the old execvp call when
we fail to find a matching entry in the PATH. Instead of
feeding the name directly to execv, execvp would consider
that an ENOENT error. By continuing and passing the name
directly to execv, we effectively behave as if "." was
included at the end of the PATH. This can have confusing and
even dangerous results.
The fix itself is pretty straight-forward. There's a new

However, as these messages indicate bugs, we really should use BUG().
And as BUG() is a macro to be able to report the exact file and line

By declaring the task_cb parameter of type `void **`, the signature of

the task_finished methods declare that parameter of type `void *`,
suggesting that those methods are mere users of said cookie.
That convention makes a total lot of sense, because the tasks are pretty
much dead when one of the latter two methods is called: there would be
little use to reset that cookie at that point because nobody would be
able to see the change afterwards.
However, this is not what the code actually does. For all three methods,
it passes the *address* of pp->children[i].data.

In some situations run-command will incorrectly try (and fail) to

having a directory called "ssh" in $PATH before the real ssh and trying
to use ssh protoccol, reslting in the following:
$ git ls-remote ssh://url
fatal: cannot exec 'ssh': Permission denied
It ends up being worse and run-command will even try to execute a
non-executable file if it preceeds the executable version of a file on
the PATH. For example, if PATH=~/bin1:~/bin2:~/bin3 and there exists a
directory 'git-hello' in 'bin1', a non-executable file 'git-hello' in
bin2 and an executable file 'git-hello' (which prints "Hello World!") in
bin3 the following will occur:
$ git hello
fatal: cannot exec 'git-hello': Permission denied
This is due to only checking 'access()' when locating an executable in
PATH, which doesn't distinguish between files and directories. Instead
use 'is_executable()' which check that the path is to a regular,
executable file. Now run-command won't try to execute the directory or
non-executable file 'git-hello':
$ git hello
Hello World!
which matches what execvp(3) would have done when asked to execute
git-hello with such a $PATH.

Restoring default signal handlers is required because
execve does not unblock signals, it only restores default

When you hit ^C to interrupt a git command going to a pager,
this usually leaves the pager running. But when a dashed
external is in use, the pager ends up in a funny state and
quits (but only after eating one more character from the
terminal!). This fixes it.
Explaining the reason will require a little background.
When git runs a pager, it's important for the git process to
hang around and wait for the pager to finish, even though it
has no more data to feed it. This is because git spawns the
pager as a child, and thus the git process is the session
leader on the terminal. After it dies, the pager will finish
its current read from the terminal (eating the one
character), and then get EIO trying to read again.
When you hit ^C, that sends SIGINT to git and to the pager,
and it's a similar situation. The pager ignores it, but the
git process needs to hang around until the pager is done. We
addressed that long ago in a3da882120 (pager: do
wait_for_pager on signal death, 2009-01-22).
But when you have a dashed external (or an alias pointing to
a builtin, which will re-exec git for the builtin), there's
an extra process in the mix. For instance, running:
$ git -c alias.l=log l
will end up with a process tree like:
git (parent)
\
git-log (child)
\
less (pager)
If you hit ^C, SIGINT goes to all of them. The pager ignores
it, and the child git process will end up in wait_for_pager().
But the parent git process will die, and the usual EIO
trouble happens.
So we really want the parent git process to wait_for_pager(),
but of course it doesn't know anything about the pager at
all, since it was started by the child. However, we can
have it wait on the git-log child, which in turn is waiting
on the pager. And that's what this patch does.
There are a few design decisions here worth explaining:
1. The new feature is attached to run-command's
clean_on_exit feature. Partly this is convenience,
since that feature already has a signal handler that
deals with child cleanup.
But it's also a meaningful connection. The main reason
that dashed externals use clean_on_exit is to bind the
two processes together. If somebody kills the parent
with a signal, we propagate that to the child (in this
instance with SIGINT, we do propagate but it doesn't
matter because the original signal went to the whole
process group). Likewise, we do not want the parent
to go away until the child has done so.
In a traditional Unix world, we'd probably accomplish
this binding by just having the parent execve() the
child directly. But since that doesn't work on Windows,
everything goes through run_command's more spawn-like
interface.
2. We do _not_ automatically waitpid() on any
clean_on_exit children. For dashed externals this makes
sense; we know that the parent is doing nothing but
waiting for the child to exit anyway. But with other
children, it's possible that the child, after getting
the signal, could be waiting on the parent to do
something (like closing a descriptor). If we were to
wait on such a child, we'd end up in a deadlock. So
this errs on the side of caution, and lets callers
enable the feature explicitly.
3. When we send children the cleanup signal, we send all
the signals first, before waiting on any children. This
is to avoid the case where one child might be waiting
on another one to exit, causing a deadlock. We inform
all of them that it's time to die before reaping any.
In practice, there is only ever one dashed external run
from a given process, so this doesn't matter much now.
But it future-proofs us if other callers start using
the wait_after_clean mechanism.
There's no automated test here, because it would end up racy
and unportable. But it's easy to reproduce the situation by
running the log command given above and hitting ^C.

Some processes might want to perform cleanup tasks before Git kills them
due to the 'clean_on_exit' flag. Let's give them an interface for doing
this. The feature is used in a subsequent patch.
Please note, that the cleanup callback is not executed if Git dies of a
signal. The reason is that only "async-signal-safe" functions would be
allowed to be call in that case. Since we cannot control what functions
the callback will use, we will not support the case. See 507d7804 for

of a command in a way that avoids deadlocks. But sometimes
we need to do more I/O, like capturing stderr as well, or
sending data to stdin. It's easy to write code that
deadlocks racily in these situations depending on how fast
the command reads its input, or in which order it writes its
output.
Let's give callers an easy interface for doing this the
right way, similar to what capture_command() did for the
simple case.
The whole thing is backed by a generic poll() loop that can
feed an arbitrary number of buffers to descriptors, and fill
an arbitrary number of strbufs from other descriptors. This
seems like overkill, but the resulting code is actually a
bit cleaner than just handling the three descriptors
(because the output code for stdout/stderr is effectively
duplicated, so being able to loop is a benefit).
